Quotations by Subject: Men And Women (45 quotes)

Results from Classic Quotes:

When an actress takes off her clothes onscreen but a nursing mother is told to leave, what message do we send about the roles of women? In some ways we're as committed to the old madonna-whore dichotomy as ever. And the madonna stays home, feeding the baby behind the blinds, a vestige of those days when for a lady to venture out was a flagrant act of public exposure.: Anna Quindlen (1953 - )
The problem lay buried, unspoken for many years in the minds of American women. It was a strange stirring, a sense of dissatisfaction, a yearning that women suffered in the middle of the twentieth century in the United States. Each suburban housewife struggled with it alone. As she made the beds, shopped for groceries, matched slipcover material, ate peanut butter sandwiches with her children, chauffeured Cub Scouts and Brownies, lay beside her husband at night, she was afraid to ask even of herself the silent question: 'Is this all?': Betty Friedan (1921 - 2006)
Men are not the enemy, but the fellow victims. The real enemy is women's denigration of themselves.: Betty Friedan (1921 - 2006)
The problem that has no name - which is simply the fact that American women are kept from growing to their full human capacities - is taking a far greater toll on the physical and mental health of our country than any known disease.: Betty Friedan (1921 - 2006)
There needs to be bolder thinking, ... on how to measure the quality of life of men and women in the work force. Currently, success is measured by material advancements. We need to readjust the definition of success to account for time outside of work and satisfaction of life, not just the dollars-and-cents bottom line.: Betty Friedan (1921 - 2006)
I never set out to write a book to change women's lives, to change history. It's like, 'Who, me?' Yes, me. I did it. And I'm not that different from other women. ... Maybe my power and glory was that I could speak my truth as a woman and it was the truth of every woman.: Betty Friedan (1921 - 2006)
If divorce has increased by one thousand percent, don't blame the women's movement. Blame the obsolete sex roles on which our marriages were based.: Betty Friedan (1921 - 2006)
Because I am a woman, I must make unusual efforts to succeed. If I fail, no one will say, 'She doesn't have what it takes.' They will say, 'Women don't have what it takes.': Clare Booth Luce (1903 - 1987)
Women are the only oppressed group in our society that lives in intimate association with their opressors.: Evelyn Cunningham
Feminism is the radical notion that women are people.: Cheris Kramarae, and Paula Treichler
